He asks: “How does it feel to be confronted? You don’t like this, Kevin, do you?”

A security guard can then be seen coming between them and leads the shaken reporter out of the cafe.

The man holds his phone up to Mr Magee’s face and says: “This is the closest you will get to any of these groups, do you understand? You came here tonight thinking you were gonna get stuff on me. You better watch your f***ing self.”

He follows him down the street, saying: “You stressed me out this morning in my family f***ing home. You have no idea of the stress you’ve caused. You ever come near my house again, I swear to God. Do I make myself clear?”

Several people can be heard yelling at the reporter as they surround his car.

The group then continue to shout obscenities at the reporter as he is escorted to his car by a bodyguard.

After the incident, the paedophile hunter said: “Kevin was in clear breach of the BBC code of conduct. I am no longer a paedophile hunter, I run an online child safety awareness programme called Safebook.

“This man, as a result of me blocking him from getting any comment from any other hunting group due to him going to the home of a female hunter and causing undue stress and alarm, then saw fit to come to my home.”
